Tuesday - Clear, Warm and Torrential Rain in the Middle of the Day
I woke up in the middle of the night last night. I’m not sure why. I might have been woken by thunder, or just me. Anyway, I went downstairs and then came back to bed. I got snuggles for a little while before I fell back asleep.
In the morning F was gone when I woke up. I snoozed a little long but then went downstairs. I vegged back in the room for a while, I watched parts of Brassed Off which I haven’t seen in yonks.
I went downstairs after a while and got myself some lunch. I did offer something to K but she’d helped herself to a cup noodle of some kind.
I went upstairs, ate, and then took a few minutes to get myself ready for work. I came downstairs to wait by the door and then it was like the sky opened up. It was pouring. I grabbed an umbrella and then put it back for another one! The taxi arrived soon afterwards and the driver very nicely came to the door with an umbrella and walked me to his car. Unfortunately, he had parked in a puddle and I had to walk through it to get in the car. I almost dived into the car!
That’s about all that I can tell you about my work today, except when I was diving into the taxi, I must have lost my cellphone out of my pocket. I realized it was gone at work. However, this being Japan and most people being honest, I got it back. Big thanks to everyone involved!
I came back to the house after work and came inside. I went upstairs and played a game for a little while to relax while I watched the US news. I got messages from F saying that he had tried to call me but it wouldn’t go through. Of course not, I was at work!! He called me again and let me know that he had ordered us a Christmas Cake, but since the 25th was all booked out, he ordered one for December 23rd!
After a little bit, I went downstairs and got a start on dinner. Tonight I made quite a few things, but not many from scratch. We had some salad, some seaweed salad, some French Fries, some baked lemon pepper chicken and some soup risotto. F was late coming to the table and complained about the soup risotto. Apparently, the rice wasn’t Japanese. Whatever. It was an instant packet, he should be grateful I gave him anything to eat!
Most of the food got eaten, although there was a bit of chicken left over.
I did the dishes, listened to a podcast and then when I finished, I went upstairs. F and I left very soon afterwards for the grocery store. We needed to get a few things. I’m going to make curry for dinner tomorrow, hoping that it’ll last us for two meals. It’s a bit of work, so I want it to last for a bit!
We had a quiet evening in again. I watched Prodigal Son. That show seems to be jumping the shark. I like it, but parts of it are such a soap opera. Oh well. Tomorrow night New Amsterdam comes back and I’m looking forward to that.
Well, that’s about it for me. Tomorrow I have to write some of my nengajo, finish up my paperwork for school and contact my employer for a couple of things. I also have to make curry in the evening. Wish me luck with that!
Oh, and before I forget, here’s the latest Advent Calendar building for December 21st. Enjoy!

| Today's building is quite central, but on the right side. It is a brick building with two chimneys and has "Books" on the side. |
Come back later if you like and hear about my day. Until tomorrow….
